Prussia Cove

Today I went to Prussia Cove again in search of the Kestrel. The project is completed so this was merely for fun.
The weather wasn't on my side today as it was raining but I still stuck around and it started to brighten up. I only saw the kestrel twice and both times he was being attacked by the Swallows in the area so he didn't stay for long! However, just before the place where the Kestrel hangs is a cliff side where a group of Fulmars roost so I got a couple of shots of these as I haven't before.
After actually spending some time with these birds I really started to like them, and I think I could get some nice shots showing their behaviour so I will try and keep this going!

Regents Park

Sorry I haven't posted any sooner, I had a big deadline so I was working hard for that.
Last week I took another trip up to Regents Park, London again for another shoot for my negotiated project.
This time was a lot better than the first time, because I was able to see the chick of the Heron and I focused on other wildlife and not just the Grey Heron.

Here are a couple images that I took;

Kestrel

For the last couple of months I have been doing a project that defines the features and characteristics of a Kestrel and a Heron and then drawing comparisons and similarities between them.
Over my second term I went on a photo shoot and came across a rather tame male Kestrel that allowed me to get close to him.
I thought I would put a couple of my captures up:
